B12s can be had for less if you want LHD

I guess they're über rare in RHD, hence the obscene asking price. (7 made according to that ad..)

E32 is rather nice too..

Green leather wasn't invidual.

If you like green leather, sadly 99% of people dont, thats why its a **** choice of interior if you ever want to sell it again :)

That black one is even more overpriced than the green one when you consider its left hand drive.

For a fleeting moment, I wondered if whilst I was away some Stobart HGV had flattened your e39......

Thankfully not. :)

Anyway, love that car, bar the colour of the interior I have decided - with trailer grease finding its way everywhere after a week in a truck, alas, it has to be a dark colour. Anyway, don't you recall our MSN chats about me saying I do wish I'd gone for the 740 when I had my - much missed - 728i?

Its well worth a punt, not to me though. I have decided it'll be either a V8 or a V12 if I'm daft enough most certainly not another 728i

Fwiw, I always thought it fast given what it was - near 2 ton auto luxobarge - tbh my 328i does not seem that much quicker! Neither are that much cop at the traffic light GP of fail, however both will autobahn 100+ all day long....

Spain was great by the way, I even found myself waisting some poor Spaniards time whilst looking over - and briefly driving! - a LHD 740d e38, not something we ever got over here. That would be the ideal compromise.

And whilst I was over there I found theres plenty of work for English experienced Class 1 drivers running from Spain to the UK for a few months and then back to Spain for a month or so off, the money was not as bad as I'd thought either, if my circumstances end up ideal, it could well be the LHD 740d after all!

You completely fail so hard I cannot even put it into words. The interior is the best bit, dark interiors are SO BORING.

Screw the 740d and all the associated problems of running a diesel.
What you want is a manual LHD 740i ;)

But whats the point of such a beautiful interior when it'll get trashed, no matter how much I try to keep the grease off, it'll get on those seats in no time.

I am trying to do this in a way that suits me, a light interior is just a non starter really I quite agree, its beautiful. But it would have to live under seat covers which kind of defeats the idea.....

Unless I get a desk job obviously which would cut out the grime, I have been there & tried that alas.....

The grease stays! :o:D

In Spain at least, my chances of finding such a car would be zero, it is truly the land of Diesel everything.

Perfectly restored, flawless mechanics and all recent revisions made, worth seeing, bids accepted,

Perfectly restored eh? Given the state of most Spanish cars, that bit does not surprise at all!
 
Well, I would not have to worry about grease marks I guess..... :o


Worryingly, that one is a lot cleaner than the thing I saw in Spain recently, loved the V8 diesel but the rest of it was awful.

It did not sound like a diesel though, not at all.
